Mate Me If You May (The Millenium Wolves #0.5) by Sapir Englard
If anyone tells you this book is spicy, they are a liar, a fiend, a weasel, and a scoundrel trying to waste your time. Through some research this is originally a Wattpad publish (not surprising) and no hate to the stories on there as they aren’t all bad, but the fact that this went on to probably be unedited and published? Get. Out. I am fuming, absolutely frothing at the mouth in anger that this was one of the first books recommended to me when searching “werewolf smuttiest book ever.”
Oh, yeah? What smut? The part where he dry humps her in the bathroom but she refuses and leaves? The part where he has her pinned against his desk... but she refuses and leaves? The part where he dry humps her in a backroom at a restaurant and she refuses and leaves???????? WHERE. IS. THE. SMUT.
This is 118 pages (on KU) of buildup to nothing between a 19-year-old and a 29-year-old. If the blatant refusal on her end but his insistence and nonconsensual marking of her didn’t skeeze you out than his continued pursual surely will. I get it, they’re werewolves, in haze or whatever nuance you wanna give to the term heat, what fucking ever. It’s so poorly written, with awful characters, some weird plot brought in around 3/4 of the way through, and absolutely nothing to look forward to in the end.
On top of all the buildup, the garbage writing, and no consistency to time (Everything is always happening all at once and everyone knows everything immediately) you are left with a giant cliffhanger “Because I think you might be my mate.” That’s cool... you’re still a shitty male lead pursuing a teenager. Oh? You were interested in reading the second book? I was too, just to see if anything was salvageable... You’ll need to download Galatea and pay for a whole new app if you wanna find out more about Aiden and Sienna...
So, if trash writing, characters who equate to manifestations of fingernails on a chalkboard, absolutely zero spice and a bunch of nonsense, and having to jump apps in order to continue reading are what really get you going. Read it, because I will not be. 1/10
Would I read again? Fuck no.
Would I recommend? Hard no.
